It's heras fencing and if installed correctly should be difficult to move. I've got zero tolerance for this due to working with the commercial development industry, it costs projects tens of thousands dealing with security and damages caused to said security. Now I'm not saying this is all down to urbex at all, I'm fully aware of the "code" and even like some of the stuff. It just gets my goat when people think it's perfectly acceptable to break into private property, this wasn't a simple walk in access property, and lets not even think about the police money/time/resources wasted on this.

So all you urbanators have you had any run ins? 
Well maybe if the security allowed access if it was done through legal channels people wouldn't have to go through this rubbish
, I went right to the top to get access to an asylum even for charity and they said NO.

Just because your Camera gear are your most valuable posessions dosent mean it is so for somebody else.
I was just being Devils advocate anyway.
If the london riots have taught us anything
Its that the scum nick first, take it home. Then take photos and put it on ebay.
You wouldn't take £1000s worth of camera equipment to go nick a fireplace and take photos of it in situ. If you're nicking it, you went to be in and out as fast as possible so as not to get caught
Not spend hours agonising over your exposure and ISO settings when the police could be on their way.

Can't happen because of health and safety etc, you would have to be escorted at the very least. A lot of companies you would have to attend their courses related to access to work onsite, the same way that their own employees do. PPE would also have to be worn\provided. This is far from the simple, pop indoors and take a couple of shots that people think it is. Some people\companies actually take their responsibilities seriously.
Going past a fence with a keep out sign isn't illegal though
And trespass isn't a criminal offence.
They shouldn't consider themselves lucky at all, because they had done nothing illegal. Being let go is the least that should have happened
In this case the police were satisfied that they did not cause any damage, else they should not have been let go without charge. We do not know if the owners of the property are prosecuting for trespass, a lot do.
This is the interesting thing with urbex, as there is no intention (hopefully!) to commit a felony (damage or steal) then you would generally be in the clear with regards to the police. The owners of said property can sue for trespass of course though. Urbex imho should be a non impact activity, you shouldn't have to move anything that is obviously not meant to be moved in order to gain access.
